The Hughes Printing Telegraph and
the Atlantic Cable.
We understand (says the New York
Rxpren) that private letter's are in town
from members of the Atlantic Telegrapl
Co., London, representing the successes
of the American Printing Telegraph in
struments of Prof. Hughes in working
through three thousand miles of cable
a; satisfactory iu the highest degree
and it is the more creditable to Prof.
Hughes as all other electricians and sys
tems of telegraphing have utterly failed
to transmit intelligenccreliably through
the extent of cable, notwithstanding
they have had a whole year for making
experiments, and have expended foi
the company over a hundred thousand
dollars. The astonishing performances
of this wonderful invention leaves n.
room to doubt but that, in the language
of the London Times, it will speedily su
percede all other systems and create at
entiie revolution in the telegraph liusi
ness of the world.
Commerce of New York.
It appears from the Journal of Com
meree that the total foreign imports at
New York in May were $7,250,552 less
than for May, 1857, and $6,956,409 les
than for May, 1850. The total foreign
imports for the last eleven months is
$161,356,894, against 210,845,071 for
the same time last year. The duties
paid at the custom-house show a de
crease in the receipts during the eleven
months of tbe current fiscal year of
$15,844,831 03. Included in the re
ceipts, are $2,008,517 24 in treasury
notes. The total exports from New
York since January Ist, is about ten
millions less than for the corresponding
five months of last year. Os this de
creaso upwards of two millions consist
in specie.
Currency for Taxes,
We have authority for saying, (says
the Savannah Republican, of th‘eßth,)that
no bills on the suspended banks of South
Carolina or other States will be received
at the Treasury in payment of taxes.—
We presume the matter is fully under
stood by the Collectors throughout the
State, and that they are governing
themselves accordingly. The general
Treasury order is to take no money
that is not bankable in Savannah and
Augusta, as most of the interest on
the State bonds, &c., is payable in those
cities, and no instructions have recent
ly been issued to the contrary.
Thalberg’g Concerts.
Thalberg and Vieuxtemps have been
drawing crowdedaudiences iu Nashville.
They were to give their last Concert in
that city, on the evening of the sth inst.'
They will make their next appearance -
in St. Louis.

Boston, did on the 2d inst.
No War with England.
The Herald, alluding to the recent pa
triotic explosions in the Senate; says :
“There will lie no war with England
this time. Every man who remembers
tbe terrible epoch of “fifty-four forty
or fight,” can have no doubt on the
subject. 'The views of Mr. Mason,
Chairman on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, settle the question. He is con
siderably behind Messrs. Seward, Doug
las, Toombs, Hale mid Wilson ; but it
is very likely that he knows more of
tlie upshot of this war question than
all these belligerent gentlemen put to
gether. Let, then, nl! our frightened
old fogies of the pcaco party take a cup
of warm tea, go to bed, and make
themselves perfectly easy. The war
may be considered as having blown
over.”
Resumption In-tUj of the South Car

The suspended lktnks of this city (say*

The notes of the suspended country

We find in the June number of the
: Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, of
I this city, a communication from Dr. D.
i S. Chase, giving some of the results of
the recent experiments in the use of
electricity, in extracting teeth.
; Thp eJ!t( >r of the Sumter (Ga.) Repuh
lican also describes the application of
. the element as follows :
i Extracting Teeth. —We witnessed
r the other day the trial of a now process
t extracting teeth by electricity, the
operation of which causing no pain
whatever. The trial was made by Drs.
I Hornudy & Ford, at their dental office.
) It was certainly the most patisfactory
• the kind we ever witnessed. A
.. number of teeth were extracted from a
young gentleman and lady of this place.
1 Ihe patients declared they received no
pain, but experienced a numbing sensa
tion about the tooth. This soothing is
• produced by passing a current of elec
tricity through the tooth at the time of
» extracting. The patient grasps firmly
i in his hand one pole from an electro
, magnetic machine ; tbe other pole of
the machine is attached to the forceps,
and by this means a current of electrici
ty is passed to the tooth, aud produces a
1 local anesthesia, and so avoids the use
■ chloroform or ether. The amount
I of current is adjusted to suit each pa
lient, so as not to produce an unpleasant
sensation.

Another extensive practitioner of the

books say on such matters, but common
sense would seem to us to condemn the
proceeding as extraordinary and dange
rous to the health of the city. If the
exposure of one mile of filthy mud on
I the immediate outskirts of the city to

rfce extraordinary religious revival that
has swept over nearly the entire coun
try during the last few months, for a
ong time seemed inclined to pass by
the good city of Savannah. Even up to
this time its influence has, perhaps,
beenlless seriously felt than in any oth
er community of like population in the
Cnion ; yet, the interest, though cir
cumscribed, is real, and we trust effec
tive in the promotion of the cause of (
genuine piety. Indeed, the gradual in- 1
duence of the “still, small voice” is
more to be relied upon for permanent, 1
practical good than the noisy and fran
tic demonstrations in which awakenings
on this important subject are too apt to
manifest themselves. To the credit of
the present revival, generally, it may
be said to be characterised by a re
markable exemption from the excess to
which we have alluded. g
In this city, regular night service has i
been held in the Methodist church for
ibout six weeks and during that period i
some forty accessions have been made c
to the membership of that church. c
The Young Men's Christian Associa- I
tion have held regular morning prayer t
meetings for about two months in the t
Lecture Room of the Independent Pres- c
byterian church. The congregation es f
that church have also, for a greater 1
portion of the time, held nightly prayer t
meetings at the same place, and some c
twelve or fourteen have been added to t
their membership. a
There is also considerable interest in a
the Babtist churches and the Lutheran v
church, with what result wo have been e
unable to learn. At tho last mentioned c
church daily uniou prayer meetings are f
being held the present week, the exer- \
cises commencing at 8 1-2 p. m.— lb. s

A Rumor. (
We understand that there is a rumor i
afloat i n the country that Crockett now I
in jail under sentence of death for the i
erime of murder Jn this county, had (
made his escape, disguised as a female, (
and was now at large. Such a rumor
is without any foundation whatever— I
and our vigilant and energetic sheriff, i
Love, is determined that there shall be ?
no foundation for it. On the 18th of <
the present month, he will doubtless ex- i
piate his terrible crime on the scaffold.

Francis Attinwall, of Yorkvillc, N.

on Wednesday, May 19, on the Union
Course, L 1., to run a five mile match
for SIOO aside. It was the first time ,
Unit either of the men had been hacked
for any amount. Each had carefully
trained for the event, and was brought
to scratch in firstrate trim. Attinwall
had the advantage in length, and, from
style, was the favorite, and his friends
backed him SIOO to SSO. Griffin is a '
compact, well made lad, and his friends
were very sanguine as to the result,and
readily took the odds. The race was
easily won by Attinwall. His attitude
aud bearing were erect and graceful i
throughout, while his running .elicited 1
the admiration of all the spectators.— '
The whole distance wus run in 28 min- 1

A Strange Story. i
The Marksville (Avoyelles) Central i
Organ, of the 29th ult., has the follow- i
mg : i
Some two nights since a death occur
red in a certain portion of our parish
which was brought about in a strange
manner. . A gentleman living unhappi
ly with his wife, some few months ago
committed suicide. This so affected 1
her that she often of a morning declar
ed the ghost of the deceased iiad haunt
ed her during the night. Finally one
day she affirmed the devil had api
to her and after upbraiding 1 cared
that hereafter wheu gh- ner, stated
to eat or drink ' v would attempt
would chok- ' «er food and water
when*- - ner. And, strange to say
. o o ,k "‘7 nourishment or

tion. These facts we have from a gen
tleman of undoubted veracity. “
Later from Kansas.
A digpatch from Leavenworth, dated
' 26th May, states that the Board of Com
missioners appointed under the Act of
, Congress of May 4th, was convened at
Lecompton, May 24th. Present—J.
W. Denver, Governor; Hugh L. Walsh,
Secretary ; C. W. Babcock, President of
Council; George W. Deshler, Speakar
of the House, and Wm. Heir, District
' Attorney. The members of the Board
were sworn in by Judge Cato. The
Commissioners organized by electing
' Governor Denver, President, and Hugh
| S. Walsh, Secretary.
A committee of three was appointed
by the Chair to prepare the programme
for conducting the election provided for
by the Kansas bill, to report at the next
meeting, which was to take place on the
31st ult.
On motion of E. W. Babcock, it was
unanimously agreod that th» election
ordered by the Act of Congress shall
take place on the first Monday of Au
gust next. Adjourned.
Rumors were in circulation of a battle
having taken place on the Southern
border, between the Free State force
and a party of Missourians, in which
twenty one were killed and eleven
wounded. The news was not consider
ed authentic.
The St. Louis Republican of the 28th
ultimo says that a petition had been re
ceived by the Governor from the citi
zens of Bates and Cass counties, Mis
souri, asking protection against Mont
gomery’s banditti, who had invaded
Missouri, and were committing robbe
ries and outrages, and preparing for an
extensive foray into the State.
The Leavenworth correspondent of
the same paper says that the outlaws
had burned the town of Butler, Kansas.
Commodore Paul ding and the Jfavy
Department.
The correspondence between Commo
dore Paulding, while in command of
the Homo Squadron, and the Depart
ment, in connection with the Walker
expedition, has been transmitted to the
Senate, in compliance with a resolution
of that body. Nearly all the papers
embraced in this correspondence have
already been laid before tho public.— ,
Among them, however, says tho Union,
we notice two papers, numbered 13 anil ,
14, which we give below. The Secreta
ry of the Navy states that tho first was ,
the only communication addressed to!
Commodore Paulding which wassubse- ■
queatly withdrawn. This was done 1
lest the order for tho detachment of '
Commodore Paulding might be misun-j f
derstood. The second letter was sub-!
mitted therefor, that the true reason for!
detaching him might appear from the!
correspondence ;

Au astronomical writer thus describes
some of the wonders of tho heavens,
now visible:
“ That ruddy luminary now visible
in the Southern section of the heavens
every fair evening—that red cornelian
of the sky—is the veritable planet Mars.
He is not far, in apparent position, from
the constellation of Scorpia. His dis
tance from us, as he completes his cir
cuit every twenty-two months, varies
from about two hundred and forty mil
lion miles to fifty millions. This varia
tion in distauce occasions, of course, a
diversity in his apparent size. When
nearest to us, he appears somewhat ns
at present—large, glowing, brilliant,
and some twenty-five times larger than
when farthest from us. At his remote
extreme, ho is hardly noticeable as an
ordinary star. His diameter is about
four thousand two hundred miles. He
presents to the good telescopic eye,
spots on his full-orbed surface, which
have declared the fact and the period
of his axial rotation. His orbital speed
is about fifty five thousand miles an
hour. He was in opposition to the sun
nearly three weeks since. Mars is an
object now worthy of more than a mere
cursory glance.
Give him an attentive look; and af
ter having satisfied your eyes with his
rubric rays, turn towards the West,
and view tho silvery Venus, now in her
crescent phase. These two planets are
sometimes in conjunction; and, per
haps thence arose tho fable of antiquity
respecting the rude conduct of the fiery
god Mars and the beautiful goddess
Venus,

GROVER & BAKER’ S
SEWING MACHINES.
KLAXONS why the Grover & Baker
Machine ia universally preferred for family
sewing:
1. It ia more simple and easier kopt in order
than any other Machine.
‘AI. It makes a seam which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordiuarv spools, aud thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided, whilo
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure,
by a merit change o/sjtool , to all varieties of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
and common spool cottou with equal facility.
6th. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The stitch made by this machine is more
boautifu! than any other made, either by hand
or machine.
Merchants can secure the sales of these Ma
chines in their different localities, with profit to
themselves and their customers, bv applying to
the undersigned, owners of the Right for Georgia.
These machines are always ou exhibition at
- their Sales Room, on Broad street.
